English is a Germanic language (Indo-European family), spoken in countries around the world; in India it is used alongside Hindi for the official work of the Union government, in courts and in higher education. It is written in the Latin alphabet: an alphabet in which vowels and consonants are separate letters.
Russian (Русский) is a Slavic language (Indo-European family), spoken in Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. It is written in the Cyrillic alphabet: Russian uses 33 Cyrillic letters.
How English and Russian compare
- English is written in the Latin alphabet and Russian in the Cyrillic alphabet, so the translation changes the script as well as the words.
- English and Russian are distant relatives in the Indo-European family (the Germanic and Slavic branches), but most everyday words are different.
- Both usually put words in the order subject–verb–object, which keeps sentences close in shape.
